Concerns about global climate change are increasing day by day. The risk of drought on the one hand and the increasing climatological disasters due to the deteriorating balance of nature on the other side increase people's concerns about the planet. This research examines the global climate crisis, which is the subject of many different disciplines, from a sociological perspective. The research, which deals with the increasing drought with global climate change, examines the changes caused by drought in the social field. The study, which reveals the risk of drought in and around Van based on researches on increasing drought in Turkey, reveals the social consequences of drought in Dilkaya Village of Edremit, the central district of Van. The research was based on the opinions of 8 interviewees between the ages of 45 and 75 who lived in the village. Data from a semi-structured interview show that the drought has led to significant changes in the social and economic relations of the village. In the research, it was detected that the agricultural water in the village was gradually decreasing. Due to the decreasing agricultural water, social relations in the village deteriorated and, accordingly, conflicts between the peasants increased. Similarly, with the decrease in irrigation water, agricultural activities changed and over time, the peasants had to turn to dry agriculture. The deteriorating social relations due to decreasing agricultural incomes forced the peasants to emigrate. As a matter of fact, the data obtained from TUIK confirm that the village has been emigrating in recent years. As a matter of fact, data obtained from the Turkish Statistical Institute (TUIK) confirm that the village has been emigrating in recent years.
